| Hey guys, I’ve been seeing a lot of advertisements about Equinity lately and I wondered if it really was as good as they say it is and does all that they say it does. My mare has Ostheoarthritis in both hocks and the Supplements I have her on now are working great but it is just expensive and a lot of them to give. Just looking for info and trying to do some research. |

Location: North Dakota | Equinity is amino acids. The reason many people see benefits from equinity is because amino acids are the building blocks of life in a sense. You may see improvement in your horse in many ways if they are deficeint in any of the essential amino acids that equinity provides. |

| In their FB video add someone is seen poking the horse with a stick to make them " FLinch" as a girl runs her fingers down his back. I called them out on it and never got a response or explanation. I think this product would work if a horse was not being fed properly. My horses look better than theirs with just a whole foods, clean, diet. |

| I have my open horse on it and I love it. He looks awesome (he has always been well fed) but I have noticed that since he has been on it he looks even better! . Two weeks ago we were at the vet's for a check up, the vet made the comment that's the best he has seen him look since I got him two years ago. Also he wasn't in need of any injections!!!
That's the only supplement he is getting and it works for us.  |

| So, Equinity is a powdered form of amino acids, but what is the source? In other words, what is it made from? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I honestly don't know how it would be made..? |

What do you feed with it. Like right now, my mare is on Whole Foods oats and flax mixed with her supplements. Can I keep her on the Whole Foods? Her nutrition doesn’t come from the Whole Foods but from the hay. I’m doing Curost right now and feed the way they have told me. |

I feed Whole Foods clean diet right now. She looks great. It’s just all the supplements I have to feed with it.. it’s getting pricey! |

Just like any other supplement. From synthetic forms. This isn't a new idea in the horse world or the human world of supplements. Amino acid supplements or supplements containing essential amino acids have been around since the start. Vit/min supplements contain aminos, and so does the commerical horse feeds many people feed. Equinity I suppose is a way to get your horse those amino acids without all the fillers that you find in some other products. Lysine is one that many people are familiar with that is found in various supplements and usually near the top of all feed labels.
I thnk that the makers of equinity have done an excellent job of utlizing facebook advertisements. I think it is a solid product that gives a good amount of product in a small dosage. It would be worth a shot if you are having issues with your horse. Many horses though are going to get all they need from some oats and alfalfa. |

I feed him Strategy and alfalfa hay (one big flake at night)... Same amounts as before I started him in equinity. |

Location: South Georgia | I wonder if it is really that widely used right now, or if the social media marketing is just making it more known right now. I seem to see an ad on FB every day. |

Thank you for the reply. I found an interesting article by Dr. Getty. She talks about proteins/amino acids and why a variety of protein sources is important.

| THE is a better choice for not only amino acids but minerals, vitamins and herbs, IMO... get more than just amino acids AND you can customize what you get for less money.

| Thank you all for the responses. I’m thinking about trying it out and just seeing what I notice. The company did email me and told me not to discontinue my other supplements when I first start her on the Equinity but to watch her and when I start noticing a difference to remove them from her diet. |
